<title>security: Minor improvements to no_new_privs documentation</title>

<id>c540521bba5d2f24bd2c0417157bfaf8b85e2eee</id>
<content type='text'>
The documentation didn't actually mention how to enable no_new_privs.
This also adds a note about possible interactions between
no_new_privs and LSMs (i.e. why teaching systemd to set no_new_privs
is not necessarily a good idea), and it references the new docs
from include/linux/prctl.h.

Pull KVM fix from Marcelo Tosatti:
 "Memory leak and oops on the x86 mmu code, and sanitization of the
  KVM_IRQFD ioctl."

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm:
  KVM: MMU: fix shrinking page from the empty mmu
  KVM: fix fault page leak
  KVM: Sanitize KVM_IRQFD flags
  KVM: Add missing KVM_IRQFD API documentation
  KVM: Pass kvm_irqfd to functions

Pull DT fixes from Rob Herring:
 "Mainly some documentation updates and 2 fixes:

   - An export symbol fix for of_platform_populate from Stephen W.
   - A fix for the order compatible entries are matched to ensure the
     first compatible string is matched when there are multiple matches."

Normally these would go through Grant Likely (thus the "fixes-for-grant"
branch name), but Grant is in the middle of moving to Scotland, and is
practically offline until sometime in August. So pull directly from Rob.

* 'fixes-for-grant' of git://sources.calxeda.com/kernel/linux:

  dt: mc13xxx.txt: Fix gpio number assignment
  dt: fsl-fec.txt: Fix gpio number assignment

Pull block bits from Jens Axboe:
 "As vacation is coming up, thought I'd better get rid of my pending
  changes in my for-linus branch for this iteration.  It contains:

   - Two patches for mtip32xx.  Killing a non-compliant sysfs interface
     and moving it to debugfs, where it belongs.

   - A few patches from Asias.  Two legit bug fixes, and one killing an
     interface that is no longer in use.

   - A patch from Jan, making the annoying partition ioctl warning a bit
     less annoying, by restricting it to !CAP_SYS_RAWIO only.

   - Three bug fixes for drbd from Lars Ellenberg.

   - A fix for an old regression for umem, it hasn't really worked since
     the plugging scheme was changed in 3.0.

   - A few fixes from Tejun.

   - A splice fix from Eric Dumazet, fixing an issue with pipe
     resizing."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  scsi: Silence unnecessary warnings about ioctl to partition
  block: Drop dead function blk_abort_queue()
  block: Mitigate lock unbalance caused by lock switching
  block: Avoid missed wakeup in request waitqueue
  umem: fix up unplugging
  splice: fix racy pipe-&gt;buffers uses
  drbd: fix null pointer dereference with on-congestion policy when diskless
  drbd: fix list corruption by failing but already aborted reads
  drbd: fix access of unallocated pages and kernel panic
  xen/blkfront: Add WARN to deal with misbehaving backends.
  blkcg: drop local variable @q from blkg_destroy()
  mtip32xx: Create debugfs entries for troubleshooting
  mtip32xx: Remove 'registers' and 'flags' from sysfs
  blkcg: fix blkg_alloc() failure path
  block: blkcg_policy_cfq shouldn't be used if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED
  block: fix return value on cfq_init() failure
  mtip32xx: Remove version.h header file inclusion
  xen/blkback: Copy id field when doing BLKIF_DISCARD.

Veritysetup is now part of cryptsetup package.

Pull driver Core fixes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is a number of printk() fixes, specifically a few reported by the
  crazy blog program that ships in SUSE releases (that's "boot log" and
  not "web log", it predates the general "blog" terminology by many
  years), and the restoration of the continuation line functionality
  reported by Stephen and others.  Yes, the changes seem a bit big this
  late in the cycle, but I've been beating on them for a while now, and
  Stephen has even optimized it a bit, so all looks good to me.

  The other change in here is a Documentation update for the stable
  kernel rules describing how some distro patches should be backported,
  to hopefully drive a bit more response from the distros to the stable
  kernel releases.
